Queeny Pure Orange Zinnia Seed
Queeny Pure Orange Zinnia Seed
New! Mid-sized blooms in shades of orange.
Vigorous plants produce 1 1/2–2 1/2" wide, double and semidouble blooms. The only orange zinnia we've found that produces mid-sized blooms and is tall enough for cutting. While from the same breeder as the beloved Queen/Queeny Series, Queeny Pure Orange stands apart. Its blooms are smaller than others in the series, and instead of antique hues, it produces simple, pure shades of orange. Most similar to the Oklahoma Series in bloom size and timing. Cut-and-come-again flower, yielding multiple cuts over the season. Ht. 28–40". Avg. 4,200 seeds/oz. Packet: 50 seeds.

SOWING: Transplant (recommended) - Sow into 72-cell flats, or preferred seedling container, 4 weeks before last frost. Cover seeds. A heat mat will help maintain an accurate temperature. Lower temperatures will result in slower germination: 5-7 days at 70-75°F (21-24°C). Harden off and transplant out after last frost. Do not allow plants to become root bound and avoid disturbing roots; transplant shock or other stress events may cause double-flowering varieties to produce single blooms for a period following stress. Direct seed - After last frost, sow 1/4" deep. Succession-sow/plant every 2 weeks for prolonged yields of high-quality stems. Pinching of initial bud or bloom and subsequent deadheading is recommended to encourage strong branching and bloom production.
